What's the deal with Nail Foil?!

So i think nail foils r glorious- simply because they look brilliant and it's and easy way to get a glorious sometimes intricate design. That being said i have to say i am truly disappointed with the longevity of the wear.

First try:
Base coat: Essi- "Blanco"

I used two top coats, Sally Hansen- "Invisible 100" and then a layer of Seche Vite. Seche Vite by itself led to wrinkling and Sally Hansen by itself just doesn't last.

Second Try:

Base Coat Julep- "Teresa Boho Glam"

Day one, I actually prefer this base coat to the stark white

Day two!

Day Two!

I usually change my polish so frequently I don't care if  they last long, but I definitely expected more than a day,  maybe another print would be better. Until next time!

So it's been a bit of time since I've written because I was on vacation.

I'm back for a quick post. Let me preface my pics by saying I have been dying to use nail foils and they finally came in the mail! For this post I used a base coat of Essie- "Blanco" and Nail Foil Design- "English Rose" (which I got from ebay). I used two different top coats because a lot of reviews complained of wrinkling that happens with fast drying. So I used Sally Hansen first and Seche Vite for longevity and shine!
